Jamie and Madge confront a theft with moral test and reward
In a cold house Jamie confesses to stealing money to buy a green silk dress for Madge after a long secret sacrifice. Uncle Gould condemns him until Jamie's honesty and Madge's steadfast support lead to confession, pardon, and renewed trust. The skating prize and restored family harmony crown Jamie's endurance and moral victory.

Temperance and Parlor Tales From An Ancient Night
An 1800s style parlor vignette recounts a drunken scene in Ann Arbor with a temperance lecturer and a moral jab about not underestimating drink. It includes a wry aside about a plant in Washington and a naval officer’s grim quip on battle moments as sand is spread to absorb blood.
